Default Re: Discussion-A good point Bill

Bill M wrote "You do not know if the gun you are buying has had any parts replaced or not, but you presume it hasn't if it is all matching numbers, but who knows? " We really dont know do we? I think sometimes we try to feel satisfied that we bought an original as issued pistol, but who really knows? I do think that is important to come to grips with that predicament or at least recognize it. In the end, if I am convinced it is original, I would feel better. I think it is of paramount importance to learn as much as possible, so you purchase as smart as possible. You almost need to get burned to really appreciate how close you have to look at an item before you buy it. What really is an eyesore and a real party pooper is the ATTEMPT to restamp a part to MAKE IT MATCH! That is pretty easy to see in most cases. I have seen mag bottoms that were restamped so deep it was comical. And you see panagraphed engraved letters that have that beveled edge look that really is obvious. When you see numbers that are really correct, or appear to be, it just "looks and feels better" Sorry, tired and long winded tonight! Thor
